wat are some useless things that you see yourself ending up getting...

[Naer]

unless someone or something blocks you from getting it/them.

for me, one thing is an aged live bonsai tree for my desk. Dunno why i want this as it would just add a chore to water it regularly

you?

I could see myself purchasing a tablet one day even though they are pretty much useless.

 

[dasherHampton]

I was thinking about buying a Nintendo Switch solely to play that Zelda game. I really like expansive RPGs (at least I did in the past).

Other than that -useless to me.

Posting in a Naer thread is something that always results in being a waste of time.

Aside from that and the Mayne threads, i *try* to not buy anything that isnt productive, but that has two negative effects: it stops me sometimes from buying things i DO need. And sometimes it's just ineffective, i buy something convinced i need it, and in the end i dont.

I wouldn't say they're useless, but I don't have a pressing need; I'm gonna get a dawn redwood and some pawpaw trees.

 

[realibrad]

I'm very disappointed that nobody has said wife/husband yet.

Next up in the first world problems thread…

lxskllr: My BDUs have six pockets, they're all crammed full, and I'm still pickin' up these paw paws and puttin' 'em my my pockets, pickin' up these paw paws and puttin' 'em my my pockets, pickin' up these paw paws and puttin' 'em my my pockets.

I might have a rock or two taking up space around the house and will probably get more. "Ooh, shiny!"

 

[FeuerFrei]

I'm fixated on all manner of decor - prints, carvings, tapestries, decals, etc. Anything Old World, celtic, viking, medieval, heraldic. This one artist ... just one release after another ... keeps me ordering.

I think that a lot of us older forum members here have a collection of old computer parts and games that are worthless now.

Seriously, when was the last time I used a mouse with a PS/2 plug, or installed Quake 2 off of a CD-ROM? Why am I still keeping this crap?

Milkweed seeds/plants. I have spent a lot of time the last almost year raising the plants, even bought a plant at local nursery. So far I've only succeeded in nurturing one single Monarch to adulthood, AFAIK. A couple of mature caterpillars escaped my surveilance, if they were lucky they made it somewhere and pupated and hatched to the air, but I have no way of knowing. Ever since, somehow all eggs haven't even resulted in caterpillars, near as I can tell. I think that predators have staked out my property.

Never had any... but still LOOKING. Hope she's anything but useless. I sure am!

[Thebobo]

I was thinking about getting a life but it seems like way to much work

syphilis

syphilis

It can cause weight loss, so a small silver lining.

hmm, I never considered that. Also worth noting that the late-stage brain-eating psychosis inducing effects usually occur many, many years later. Near death, really. So it could be worse.

Ewww, who would even want one of those?

I can imagine that one day I'll have a headstone. Don't want one and nobody needs one, but will probably get one anyway.

I'm about to have one next June.

I went through a big purge when I started my family, and have gone through several ever since. Saw my friend's houses with kids, always looked like a tornado had hit lol. Outside of my odd assortment of useless now-vintage computer parts, the first thing to go were the Legos...now we just have Minecraft everywhere...on the tablet, on the TV, in the VR system. I haven't stepped on a Lego in nearly two years now

Next thing was the art supplies...got sick of cleaning marker off the cabinets, watercolor paints out of the carpet, etc. The iPad with the pressure-sensitive pen is a minor miracle...drawing apps with a variety of digital media, coloring-book apps, letter-tracing apps, done. No more mess! Too much screentime tho

Digitized all the other crap I could. Got a big flat screen TV, a Roku, and a Plex server. Copied the music, movies, and photo into the digital realm. Scan & shred all my paper mail. It's soooooo nice not having crap everywhere. Everything else gets managed by "bin technology" - bins for stuff animals, toy cars, etc. If the bin starts overflowing, then it's time to do a purge & donate to Goodwill. Keeps things clean & easy to manage!

A super top of the line high end gaming computer. Not that it's useless, but useless for me since I'm not that big of a gamer. I've always kinda wanted to build one and just go all out and get the highest end components available but I just can't justify the money so I don't do it.
